*Gross p.a. is the rate of interest paid without the deduction of tax per annum. AER stands for Annual Equivalent Rate and illustrates what the interest rate would be if interest was paid and compounded once each year. As every advertisement for a savings product will contain an AER you will be able to compare more easily what return you can expect from your savings over time.

Tracks at a fixed rate of 0.75% above the Bank of England base rate (BOEBR) throughout the term of the ISA. To see the current and historical Bank of England base rate please go to www.bankofengland.co.uk.

Interest is calculated daily and can be credited to the account or transferred to your elected account.

Annual interest is paid on 5 April each year. Monthly interest is paid on the last working day of each month. The final interest payment will be made on the maturity date.

Can Kent Reliance change the interest rate?

Any rate change will take place on the first of the following month after a Bank of England rate change announcement. Up to date information on our interest rates can be found on our interest rates page, in branch or by calling our head office. Please refer to Condition 28 of our Savings Terms and Conditions for full details on interest rate changes.

Additional information

You may split your current tax year ISA allowance between multiple Kent Reliance ISA products.

If you choose to open multiple Kent Reliance products in the same tax year, these will be treated as a single ISA under HMRC regulations. HMRC prohibits opening multiple ISAs with multiple ISA providers in the same tax year. Therefore, if you want to transfer funds from one ISA provider to another, you must transfer your full ISA subscription for the current tax year.

14 day cooling off period

You will have 14 days from the date the account is opened to reconsider your choice. If you change your mind within this cooling-off period, your initial deposit will be returned without any interest or penalty. If you have paid by debit card into the account, we can’t return the funds until the debit card payment(s) has/have cleared. Please allow three full working days. If you have paid any cheques into the account, we can’t return the funds until the
cheques have cleared. Please allow six clear working days.
